  • Relicensing from LGPL-3.0+ (with custom exceptions) to MPL-2.0 is now complete.
    libzmq is now distributed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Relicensing
    grants have been collected from all relevant authors, and some functionality
    has been clean-room reimplemented where that was not possible. In layman terms,
    the new license provides the same rights and obligations as before. Source
    files are now tagged using the SPDX license identifier format.
    Details of the relicensing process can be seen at:
    #2376
    Relicensing grants have been archived at:

    A special thanks to everybody who helped with this long and difficult task,
    with the process, the reimplementations, the collections and everything else.
